My request to Rooke Books was met with professionalism far beyond anything I could have ever expected and the volumes sent to me for my consideration were perfect in every respect. I eventually landed on a book which was shipped immediately, arrived in perfect condition and allowed me to present a unique and very special gift to my daughter on her 18th birthday. She was stunned when she opened the present and saw the book.
